Metric: Application Size (Data)

User Description

When logged into a controller, the source code is compiled (incl. Generate Code) and an executable is sent to the controller.

The executable consists of code and data sections when loaded into controller memory.

The application data size is the amount of memory needed on the controller to manage the data needed to execute the application code.

NOTE: This metric can only be calculated when you activate the Consider Code and Data Size option in the code analyzer Configuration tab. Refer to EcoStruxure Machine Expert Code Analysis User Guide\Code Analysis Manager\Configuration.

Metric Calculation

The application data size is calculated based on the size of the variables in the application.
